THE METHODS OF STRIKERS “Peaceful always permnssnble but strikers or other per- persuasion is sons have no right to intimidate by assault, or vulgar language or by insulting women, the wives of men nasty who want to work. Any man has the right to go to work and the striker has the right to stay away it he fee like it.” So spoke Judge E. §. Thomas in the U. 8.
